105. #on sel#, at a time, on one occasion: comp. ‘And moyses was numen
an sel | In ðe deserd depe sumdel,’ GE 2769; ‘on midel sel, ðat ilc
nigt,’ id. 3159. Kölbing translates timely, that is, early in the day,
quoting, ‘Ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane,’ Gen. xl. 6, and, ‘And
made swiðe on sele ðat mete,’ GE 1537, where however swiðe gives the
special sense, in quick time. But the expression appears to mean happily
in, ‘And he folgede is red on sel,’ GE 1866; ‘on good sel,’ id. 1375,
1545.
